Leader of Obscure Party That Could Hold Balance of Power in New Brunswick Celebrates on Rebel Media

The possible kingmaker in New Brunswick’s deadlocked election just took a victory lap on Ezra Levant’s far-right Rebel Media.

Kris Austin, leader of the right-wing People’s Alliance, joined Levant for a 20-minute congratulatory interview over the weekend, in which Levant gave his blessings to the leader of the obscure third party for his “defiance of political correctness.”

Levant even told Austin he sees a “tiny bit of a Rebel” inside of him.

During the interview, Levant suggests parallels between the People’s Alliance leader and Maxime Bernier, who founded the far-right, anti-diversity “People’s Party.”

Levant and Austin also bonded over their rocky relationship with the media, with the People’s Alliance leader vowing he will never “take the politically correct” approach on “hot button items” or “taboo topics”:

“We’ve always taken the approach that we’re not going to, when it comes to these hot button items or these taboo topics, we refuse to take the politically correct, sanitized approach to these issues.”
